Jobs scarce in west
By STEPHEN FORBES
A nationwide drop in unemployment
rates has yet to be felt in west Auck-
land.
Recently released figures for the
September quarter show there are still
4045 people claiming the dole in west
Auckland, down from 4133 at the end
of June.
Nationwide the rate of unemploy-
ment fell from 6.8 percent, 159,000, to
6.4 percent, 150,000, during the same
period.
National MP Kate Wilkinson says
the latest figures are a good sign.
The economy has now grown for
five consecutive quarters and that is
starting to result in more businesses
hiring new staff.
However, there is clearly more
work to do and the government is com-
mitted to maintaining its relentless
focus on jobs.''
But New Zealand Council of Trade
Unions secretary and economist Peter
Conway says the government needs to
do more to stimulate the economy.
He says the government has to be
more proactive by putting money into
building new state houses, home insu-
lation programmes or training.
It is hard and I'm not going to
throw pot-shots at the government.
But when unemployment was just over
5 percent the government held a jobs
summit, but now it's 6.4 percent we're
not hearing much.
We know that the labour market
lags in any recovery.
The problem is we don't even know
if there is a recovery, let alone how
long the lag will be in terms of jobs,'' he
says.
Before the full impact of the
recession was felt in New Zealand, the
rate of unemployment was 4.2 percent
with 94,000 ime,ployed in September
2008.
In September 2008 the rate of unem-
ployment was 4.2 percent, with 94,000
people unemployed.
